2022
The idea was born within a small group of local enthusiasts.
About Us
Marishki Izvor Association was founded by local residents united by the desire to develop the region into a more attractive place for living and tourism.
The name “Marishki Izvor” carries a symbolic meaning. The village of Raduyl is the first settlement through which the Maritsa River passes after it springs beneath Mount Musala from the Marichini Lakes. For us, this represents a beginning and a natural connection between people, nature, and community, with the idea of bringing together the settlements along the river’s course.
Our Mission
Our main motivation is to create a better environment for living, where our children have the opportunity to grow, develop, and remain connected to their hometown.
Currently, the association brings together more than 40 members, including both individuals and organizations. Among them are local residents, representatives of local businesses, and people who do not live permanently in the village but consider it their home and actively participate in its development.
